I Have No Self Control

I tried to resist, I really did, but it didn't work out for me. After driving an X3M back to back with the M5 and then trying to tell myself it I didn't need it and I should just stick to what I already have, it took me 24 hours before I broke down and was back at the dealership signing the paperwork. Super happy with the build;

2019
Azurite
Exec
Driver Assistance Plus
M Performance Exhaust
Carbon Spoiler
Carbon grills
Carbon front blades

Really loving this car after HATING my F10 M5. Swore I would never buy one again, but they really killed it with the F90. Perfect balance between aggression and luxury. Will post pics once I get something decent in regular lighting since I picked it up after dark.

We should talk. Because I gave in to X3M instead of M5, even after working with plenty of M5 already.

It lacked balance and emotion. Brutally fast car, but too much power for the chassis even stock. Everything felt distant and isolated as well.

The F90 feels incredibly balanced and cohesive in comparison.

Vista in SD, they take very good care of me. They also have a great selection of 2019's right now as well.

That is why they make so many different models! X3M is awesome as well, I test drove them back to back. I have a Ram truck so the utility is less important to me, but I love fast SUV's.

sorry but this literally makes no sense. the f10 had way more emotion, it was RWD. the f90 is simply not the same feeling, albeit faster.

Agree to disagree. I can go into detail, but it is just my opinion. Overall it was my least favorite BMW or even just car I have ever owned.

That's not a comp, but congrats on the car. The comp doesn't come with bicolor 706 wheels and the mirror caps are black...not the body color.

Not that it has any correlation to the original thread, but I also hated my f10... it has been one of my least favorite cars I have ever owned... It isn't a gargantuan reinvention of M5 with the f90, but I'm enjoying the piss out of it... Anywhoos, back on topic - congrats on your new car, op...

F90 M5 > F10M5. Unless you have owned both you will not understand.

Agree as well; don't believe this is a comps. Wheels are for non comp.

Also the side mirrors are body color instead of black.

Could be wrong but don't think so.

I could never get in to the F10 other than its looks. Still think it's a great looking car but the experience of it never clicked for me.
